Yes, Yet another systemmonitor plasmoid.
But still different from the others.
The only useful plasmoid systemmonitor i have found was Yasp. The problem with it was that it was not configurable enough.
So I came up with the idea, that everyone has its own imaginations of what belongs into a systemmonitor and what not. The birth of Yasp-scripted.
The name is similar to Yasp, because I use some modified code from that project.
The biggest advantage is that you can add things to the monitor or remove some, by just changing the script file and reparse it again...) No recompilation or something like that needed...
The scriptfile which comes with this applet is a scriptfile which fits exactly my system. You probably need to change it to fit your system (e.g. if you do not have a wireless lan card, you need to remove the wlan stuff from the script file).

You can send me your script, such that I can upload a whole bunch of scripts, the user could choose of later (maybe with a screenshot to see directly what the script does)

The scripts can be found in the directory yasp_scripts.
The 1st screenshot is systemmonitor_by_mtr.script, the 2nd screenshot is systemmonitor_by_patkoscsaba.script
and the 3rd screenshot is the script collection by duncan
(thx for the scripts).

If you want to align things, you should either use a monospace font, or use a \t in the value.

If you are familiar with svg you maybe will create your own svg's for the bar-meter. Send them please to me to have a wider range of look and feel for the system monitor ;)

Thanks

A big thank you for this little gem. I've been working with Unix and Linux here and there since the 1980s but have just recently switched to Linux completely as my main system. Was in need for some widget style system monitor and stumbled upon this project. Sort of challenging but also rewarding! Now I have managed to write a script which suits all my needs atm; the plasmoid as a vertical bar to the right now nearly fills the whole available vertical space ;-)
Thanks as well to the users who provided their scripts. I have seen that Duncan had provided some external scripts where even conditonal statements are processed.
In my script I also have used a conditional statement but inside the main script. I wanted to have a decent notification about which additional internal drives, network drives (NAS) and which USB drives are currently connected and mounted. For internal drives I use this sensor line:
sensor name ="mount.win" type="program" cmd="ls -C /mnt/windows" interval="10000"
But in case of USB drives such a sensor would block the whole plasmoid from starting when no drive is mounted (the mount point would appear just as a link instead of a directory). So I tried this et voila, it works right out of the box:
sensor name ="mount.media" type="program" cmd="if test -d /mnt/media; then ls -C /mnt/media; fi" interval="10000"
This commandlet just looks if something is mounted and only when it is it actually fetches the names of the mounted drives. Simple but effective ...

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
